No Makeup Skin Made Easy



Wanting the very best from your skin? We have tracked down the best skincare products and tips to make your skin shine with health and radiance, meaning you can ditch the makeup and the bronzer this summer!


From our favourite natural body products, to great tips for holistic skincare – we are using the latest in beauty and runway trends and celeb inspiration to show you how to make your skin fantastic! 

The new trend is... A clean face
For the face, the no makeup look is about achieving a great base that needs minimal touching up. After all, your handy foundation is only meant to even out the skin where needed; imagine not needing it at all?! The easiest way to achieve this is to have a really great skincare system that is consistent and supportive of your lifestyle. The new trend in skincare for the face is towards simple, easy to use products. With a base of ingredients that are easy to understand for everyone. Multi use products are also key, with a new generation of cleansing wipes paving the way for skincare that cleanses, tones and moisturises all in one!

Beautiful Skin at Chloe Spring Summer 2009
2: Face Cloth $7.50 from Rub a dub dub
3: 3 In One Facial Cleansing wipes $13.50 from Johnson’s stockists
4: Beautiful Skin at Lanvin Spring Summer 2009
 
The new trend is... Naturals for the body
Natural skincare has been a booming buzzword for facecare, and is now a huge focus for bodycare as well. The big call for more awareness with skincare ingredients has lead to great innovations in skincare, such as creating natural based product lines which use active natural ingredients. Aveeno’s Daily Moisturising Lotion uses Collodial Oatmeal, an ingredient known to soothe extra aggravated skin, relieve dry skin and provide ample moisture.


 
1: Healthy Skin at Heremes Spring Summer 2009
3: Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion with Collodial Oatmeal RRP $16.95 from Aveeno
4: Great Skin at Miu Miu Spring Summer 2009
5: Aveeno Daily Moisturising Body Wash with Collodial Oatmeal RRP $16.95 from Aveeno
 
The New Trend Is: Holistic Skincare
Whilst in the past, a skin flare up would be covered with foundation, or a little itchiness soothed with some chemical laden cream, the big push at the moment is towards holistic skincare. This takes into account all those things that are happening around you, the idea is that with a great skincare regime, a good diet, exercise and plenty of water, the last thing you will want to do is cover your gorgeous skin with any kind of makeup!


 
1: Kate Beckinsale exercising
2: You Are What You Eat Cookbook $27.95 from Fishpond
3: Reese Runs for good health
4: Antipodes Water from Antipodes
